It's hard to beat an Omega boar. Their badgers are nice also.

What with discussion of the Parker PTB in t'other thread, I thought I would break out the trusty Sanguine, which is the shavette that started it all for me. I looked on eBay and they are now £5.50, so they have gone up a bit since I bought mine, but inflation is going to inflate I suppose!
Great shave. DFS++. No blood. No drama. The SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum probably isn't my favourite shavette blade, but it does a good enough job. I remember the very first shave I had with this razor and what a mess I made - patience and practice really do pay off.
In addition to the above, I finished with some Nivea balm. I have always been a "no balm" guy, as under normal circumstances my skin doesn't need it and it just makes any post-shave irritation worse. However, I am discovering that a small application 10 minutes after shaving gives me a bit more leeway to use fragranced soaps that I would otherwise find too drying.

Early Shave this morning so beard was light.

Quick shave with the SR. DFS++. The good is that I worked out a new skin stretching move. The bad is that once I finished my shave I noticed a spot on my chin that I had missed. I had already rinsed out my brush. No problem. It's tiny. I can tidy that up without lather. And that's when I managed to cut myself. It's barely visible, but I still reprimanded myself for not knowing better!
Please heal quickly, @Goblin
Heal quickly mate @Goblin.
Shavettes leave more scars than women in our life. Heal soon man!

It's grand - I thought it would leave a welt on the skin for a few days but to my surprise, it had all but disappeared this morning. I know it's there, but I doubt anyone would notice otherwise.
